Nepalese-British relations are the foreign relations between the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Relations between the UK and Nepal have historically been friendly and there have been close links between the two royal families, until monarchy was abolished in Nepal. The Treaty of Friendship between Nepal and Great Britain, signed on December 21, 1923, marked a turning point in Nepal–UK relations. This treaty not only reaffirmed Nepal's sovereignty and independence but also solidified its status as a close ally of the British Empire. Nepal and Britain, bound by a longstanding friendship, fought side by side and won the war together as allies in both World War I and World War II
